Yep, done lots of testing, USB3 especially high bandwidth will cause easily enough noise to jam most GPS receivers.Noise mostly comes from the connectors.

Any special AM32 configurations did you change? I plan to match MicoAir743v2-AIO-45A with T-Motor Antigravity MN2806 EVO.
Hi @Jai.GAY,
I thought I replied but somehow it didn’t appear. The only changes I made the AM32 are:
- MOTOR_KV = 380 (400 would be correct but AM32’s parms have an issue)
- MOTOR_POLES = 14 (default)
- ESC_INDEX = set each to a unique number 0, 1, 2 or 3
Huibean tells me I should figure out the advanced timing parameter value but I haven’t gotten to that yet.
Another quick update on progress:
-
The 3D printed frame continues to cause delays with last months version being a complete failure. I’m hopeful that this month’s new design is finally on the right track with yet another 3D designer and input from our control expert Leonard Hall.
-
Custom LEDs for the rear of the vehicle and under the arms are complete and working thanks to the efforts of a PCB designer from upwork.com and manufacturing by pcbway.com
-
The custom carrier board is being re-designed to include the Hirose DF56 connector for the Sony IMX415 camera from the Taiwanese company.
-
The ESCs (on the custom carrier board) have been “torture tested” by running a modified version of the servo_scan.lua script and while it was tested in a cold location, the temp of the motors and ESCs were always below 50C which should be fine
-
The smart battery has moved forward significantly with an actual working prototype. Below is a short video showing how the button works. A short press makes the 8x LEDs light up showing state-of-charge (e.g. 1 LED = 12.5%). A long press turns the battery on/off (e.g. the drone will power up or power down)
